Baseball squad of Holy Cross excels during initial games in the Patriot League tourney
Holy Cross Athletics Shine in Recent Games
The Holy Cross athletics team has been making headlines recently, with impressive performances in both football and baseball.
In the first football game against Lehigh, Holy Cross secured a 13-1 victory, with Jimmy King and Connor Peek leading the team with 3 RBIs each. The game, a defensive battle, took place at Fitton Field. However, in a surprising turn of events, Holy Cross lost to Lehigh in their subsequent encounter on November 9, with a score of 10-7.
Meanwhile, the Holy Cross baseball team has been showing resilience and determination. In their doubleheaders against Lehigh and Lafayette over the weekend, the team demonstrated their ability to beat any team in the conference, regardless of location or number of games in a day.
In the first game against Lafayette, Holy Cross overcame a three-run deficit in the fifth inning to win 6-5. The second game against Lafayette was a close contest, with Holy Cross leading briefly in the fifth inning before eventually losing 6-9. However, in the second game against Lehigh, Holy Cross bounced back with an 8-inning 12-1 victory.
As a result of these impressive performances, Holy Cross is now one of only two teams in the Patriot League with a winning record. They are tied with Lehigh and Bucknell in the standings, and have a lead in the league after the weekend series.
